1. How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, -- and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;
2. But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, -- and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.
3. So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, -- that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.
4. Not so, the lawless, -- but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:
5. For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, -- nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6. For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.
